iCloud+ seemed like a great value proposition for people migrating from Workspace, but there are quite a few hangups. Seems like Microsoft hits a good middle ground.

Completely off topic, but why do people think having a sticky header indicating how far "through" an article is, is worth disrupting the content for?

Valid point -- sorry the header is getting in your way. Out of the available theme for Ghost I found this one taking away the least from the actual content - I'll look into getting rid of the header bar as traffic subdues not to break anything now :-)

Microsoft does hit a great middle ground -- but there's still far too little players IMO. Would enjoy if we also had Apple as a contender -- especially if they'll remain as big on their service businesses as they claim.

We just went down the rabbit hole of trying to migrate to Microsoft 365 Family with custom domain. You (officially) need to move your domain to GoDaddy, which was unfortunately a blocker for us as they don’t support our domains TLD.

From what I read DKIM also isn’t offered on Family which is disappointing. Business plans get expensive quickly when you want Office apps as well.

I know they really try to sell you on GoDaddy, but it's possible to set it up with using another registrar.

Microsoft having a blessed registrar brings the risk of very poor support if you have any issue using other registrars.

Even if they do problematic changes, as long as it works with GoDaddy you’ll have no ground to get your issues fixed.

I found some info on setting up DNS for other providers, but it isn’t officially supported and for something as important as email I don’t want them randomly breaking it one day, which they could since they expect all customers to be configured through their API integration with GoGaddy. No need to advise in advance of MX host changes etc when it’s supposed to be entirely managed by them.

I understand their target demographic here might not be super technical, so the deep integration with godaddy makes sense, but would be nice for a supported advanced user pathway too.
